Anyone working a job that has them bored to tears?

My current job assignment is stupidly boring too. I currently ride around on a golf course at night to make sure no one vandalizes it. Hopefully after the summer I can go back to my regular position. Or find a better job in the mean time...

Jogging on golf courses is awesome. When I used to live next to one, I loved running on it. Or course I always had to wait until it was dark.

Primarily huge transport circuits for data and voice, from 45mbps up into several terabytes of bandwith. Thank God I don't have to operate that equipment,

That's what I used to do and, if I can find a job, will probably be doing again. Nice and boring until something breaks then it's ... quite interesting!

Primarily huge transport circuits for data and voice, from 45mbps up into several terabytes of bandwith. Thank God I don't have to operate that equipment, I just replace components and install/disconnect circuits. Basically, I'm a pothole filler on the Information Superhighway. Worst part is a large amount of my work has to be done after midnight, regardless of where I have to go. So I get to drive in lots of nighttime snowstorms. Yay.

So someone who knows what I mean when I say DS3 or OC192

Ah I'm glad all those days are done. I worked (as a programmer) in Datacenters from about 95 through 99. Now all that hardware is handled by other people, to me it's just bits in some mythical cloud somewhere. If a piece of hardware fails I just turn off that instance and launch a new one. New servers auto configure themselves on launch, do everything but put themselves into service.

Yessir! My world starts with DS3's, and runs up into DWDM transport. If it runs on coax or fiber for my co. in CO, it's mine. We're merging with Level 3, so God only knows what's going to happen now.

I scan records and convert them to images to be filed in my company's database. I'm starting to take on a project manager - type role recently, and my boss is putting in for a raise for me! w00t!

So would you know if there's any facilities near Pueblo that have lots of b/w to them? We're near North/South and East/West train tracks, between two Coal plants, and next to a reservoir / river for cooling, middle of the nation. I'm a bit surprised there aren't more datacenters out here.

Another tech bubble brewing in the valley. The recruiters are getting desperate again, even picking up telecommuters. If you want to move to Calipornia, you can probably get a paid ticket out there.
